DUH.... Why do you think Democrats are DESPERATE to make this about FREE SH*T!, and Social issues? Talk about ANYTHING but the economy?

[Freddd]

Highest gas prices ever for Feb....media silent.

Corrupt media.

[Hotlanta Mike]

How about 9.1% unemployment? How about $16 trillion in debt?

[goseminoles]

I drive a distance to work. It costs me 1/4 of my income to go to work.

[dragnet2]

These are just some of the reasons/excuses I've heard in the past two weeks, why gas prices are quite suddenly burning up your income.

------------------------------------------------------

Iran is going to take over the world.

The refineries need maintenance

The speculators are doing it

We're running out of oil

We have plenty

Americans are driving less, so we need to raise prices

The Chinese have millions of mopeds to fuel

There is a leak in a pipe in Moose Jaw Alaska

A rodent chewed through a line at the main pump station in Texas.

Demand is down but we are producing more however, our refineries have been and are being shut down

Prices will go to 6.75, but 3 days before the election, Obama will lower prices to 1.40 to ensure reelection

A school of endangered blowfish have been sucked into a pipe, and it takes time to get them out.

Iran has nukes

Unstable markets worldwide.

A big refinery fire

A small refinery fire

A refinery fire could possibly happen

New gas additives are being developed to make Americans even more stupid

They forgot to build a pipe

They don’t like pipes

Rich liberals want the price even higher.

Obama hates the oil industry

The oil industry hates Obama and are hoping this kills his reelection

Liberals want everyone ridding donkeys and bicycles to work as a sacrifice for the planet

We moved more armaments to the gulf because Iran is taking over the world

Wild money printing and massive deficits

Americans love high gas prices

Refinery margins are tight…They hardly make any money at all.

The masses have no idea how free market works.

It is being exported because we are making more than we use.

Demand has fallen

We need refinery upgrades and expansion

We are making more than we use so we have to sell it to the Chinese, (They have 1 billion mopeds to fuel , and need to go to work so they can send us more Communist products .

We have plenty of oil, so much so, we need to sell it abroad to keep prices low.

We have plenty of oil, so much so, we need to sell it abroad to keep prices high.

Barry intentionally pissed off the oil companies and seriously limited their profit and boy are they PO’d.

[familyop]

Then higher is better. Let oil prices fly.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I would pay $10 a gallon if it meant Ubama lost in a landslide and was driven back to Kenya on a rail.

[TomGuy]

Even the MSM are apprehensive that gas prices will become an issue.

Saturday on Meet the Press, David Gregory tried to provide pre-emptive cover for Obama with this editorialized comment to Rep. Cantor regarding gas prices:

MR. GREGORY: And part of that, of course, I wonder as a, as a leader in the Congress, if you would counsel Republicans running for president not to use gas prices as a political club against the president when it really is a failure of leadership, is it not, on the part of Republicans and Democrats going back decades here, to fail to achieve energy independence and then be subject to the winds of--whims, rather, of instability in the Middle East that makes gas prices go up and down.

MSM will do all they can to provide cover for Obama. That is most of the reason for all the flapping over contraceptives and Fluke -- to distract attention away from joblessness, the economy, and other 'real' issues.

[Milhous]

Prices rise when tens of trillions more dollars (handed out like candy to privileged people) bid for finite goods.

[no dems]

I’d pay $10 a gallon from now until Election Day if it will get the Marxist Muslim out of the White House.

[ApplegateRanch]

Riiiiight! A SYMPTOM is the "most important factor"; not any of the CAUSES of the symptom.

And they let encourage DEMAND these people vote as many times as possible.

[RayChuang88]

There is now fear that we could see US$5.00/US gallon average national pricing for 87 octane unleaded by Memorial Day this year. If that happens, all the polling lead Obama has now will disappear in very short order, because now we have the specter of stagflation: a combination of higher inflation, no economic growth and high unemployment. It was this very problem that was one of two major contributing factors in President Carter's downfall at the 1980 elections.

[Cicero]

I just got the bill for fuel oil delivered to my house today. $4.15 a gallon.

When we moved here, 12 years ago, the price was $0.65 a gallon.

That’s not all Obama’s fault, obviously, but it is mostly the fault of the Democrats in congress, and the seeming inability of the gutless Republicans to fight them.

Oh, and it was Juan McCain’s vote that killed drilling in ANWR. Not that Bush tried all that hard, frankly.

[Reynoldo]

Gas prices MOST important?? 77%??....... c'mon

[pallis]

But cheery Barry has assured the dupes and half-wits that he can do nothing about gas prices. It’s not his fault, not like it was Bush’s fault.

[Chode]

on Tuesday i traded in the last piece of detroit iron i will ever own on a new Elantra that gets 40mpg... screw-em

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

It’s the economy, stupid!

Obama is a one-term wonder. Even a polished rock could beat him. So Romney is not a sure thing as he is dumber than a polished rock, but I’m thinking even Romney can’t lose to Obama in this economic depression.

[KarlInOhio]

The Republicans better get in front of Obama to make it very clear that any suggestion to tap the strategic oil reserves short of Iran shutting down the straits is a blatant political ploy and a betrayal of the the country for electoral politics. Make the very thought of touching the SPR posisonous, otherwise Obama will drain it if he has to to be reelected.

IT AIN’T JUST GAS PRICES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We need to remind the sheeple that EVERYTHING you buy costs more BECAUSE of gas prices

You buy groceries?
How do you think that food GOT there?
It was TRUCKED in.

You buy clothes? You buy ANYTHING?

If you bought it, a truck brought it.

Truckers/Trucking companies pay more for gas. that gets passed to the shippers.
The shipper pass it back to the companies shipping their food, clothes, etc.

GET IT.

Noticed how much more food and stuff costs?

It’s directly ties to gas prices...

And for those of you in winter climates - had fun filling your tank this winter?

You think the “gas prices” has got folks attention?
Remind ‘em EVERYTHING is going up because of gas prices...

People are more apt to vote their pocketbook over other considerations.

Remind everyone - post it often - email - get to Newt and remind HIM to include it in his speeches.

[GOPJ]

If CBS is pushing this rather than hiding it, it means that before the election Obama's friends in the ME will drop the price of oil to help him get re-elected.

We don't have to 'follow the money' we need to 'follow the bias' of the MSM... They're pushing it and sure as hell isn't because they either give a damn - or that they're helping us.

Watch and see... the price will go down - and the Democrat-Media Complex will fawn over their hero.

[Alissa]

For me, it’s repealing Obamacare.
